The Survival Chinese course is intended for students who wish to learn basic conversation skills so that they may function in China or a Chinese-speaking country more easily. It is also for pre-intermediate learners whose grammar knowledge outweighs their communication ability. The Survival Chinese lessons provide grammar and communication practice in a range of situational contexts. Through a series of role-plays and vocabulary activities, we will cover giving directions, restaurants, shopping, visiting the doctor, going to the pharmacy, banking, hotels and airports.
过奖(guò jiăng) and 不敢当(bù găn dāng)
Under certain circumstances, both of 过奖(guò jiăng) and 不敢当(bù găn dāng) refer to over praise and undeserved compliment. Thus these two phrases are used to express modesty when hearing other's compliments. "You" is the subject of 过奖(guò jiăng) and "I" is the implied subject of 不敢当(bù găn dāng). In China, we usually say "您过奖了!(Nín guò jiăng le!)" or "过奖了!(Guò jiăng le!)"or"不敢当! (Bù găn dāng!)"
